Download or read book Leading and Implementing Business Change Management written by David J. Jones and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-07-18 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Being change capable is the "new normal" for today’s growth-minded organizations. The "do more with less" strategies of the past are no longer effective in preparing organizations to meet the increasing challenges for growth, competitiveness and innovation required of them in this new era. Business change challenges including customer and market shifts, legal and regulatory requirements, strategic redirection, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, and cultural transformation are demanding that organizations effectively and efficiently manage change across multiple dimensions. To reach this level of change capability, organizations must adopt an integrated, balanced and customized approach to change management. Change management is addressed from the unique perspective of both its foundational concepts as well as practical application. Using an integrated, scalable and flexible framework, this book provides tools which can be readily customized and applied to initiatives across or within stages of the business change management lifecycle, from assessing the need for change, through planning the change initiative, designing a balanced change solution which integrates the people, process, and project management elements, through deploying and institutionalizing the change. Common risks associated with failed or stalled change initiatives are presented with best practices and key topics associated with change management are explored and illustrated through real-life case studies. Aimed at both the professionals within organizations and post graduate students and researchers within business strategy, organizational behaviour and change management disciplines, this book will provide a conceptual understanding of change management and a roadmap with a supporting toolbox for leading and implementing change that sticks.

Download or read book Doing Business in the New Latin America written by Thomas H. Becker and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2010-11-18 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This hands-on guide teaches executives of small and medium-size U.S. companies how to establish and maintain profitable business in Mexico, Central America, South America, and the Caribbean. Unlike the "old" Latin America, today's Latin America is both readily accessible to smaller North American companies and is being transformed into a bustling business environment. However, for those without a native, in-depth understanding of the emerging changes within today's Latin American marketplace and a grasp of the cultural implications at hand, doing business in Latin America can still be challenging for smaller U.S. exporters and importers. Doing Business in the New Latin America: Keys to Profit in America's Next-Door Markets, Second Edition serves as an insider's travel guide and trader's manual for understanding the region's market environment and best export sales opportunities in each of its countries. It lays the groundwork for finding and developing ideal prospects while avoiding pitfalls and foreigners' faux pas. Part I familiarizes readers with Latin America in general, profiling its nations from a business perspective; Part II explains how Latin American business attitudes developed from a historical perspective. The third section of the text focuses on the all-important art of making—and keeping—the deal.

Download or read book Implementing the Corporate Mission written by Martin Wielens and published by diplom.de. This book was released on 1999-12-21 with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inhaltsangabe:Problemstellung: Unternehmensleitbilder (englisch: Corporate Mission Statements) sind in den vergangenen beiden Dekaden sehr populär geworden bei amerikanischen, aber auch europäischen Unternehmen. Das Unternehmensleitbild ist quasi das Glaubensbekenntnis eines Unternehmens: es beantwortet die grundlegenden Fragen warum das Unternehmen existiert, welche langfristige Strategie es verfolgt, für welche Werte es einsteht und welche Geschäftphilosophie es vertritt. Das Leitbild gibt die interne wie auch externe Orientierung des Unternehmens vor, es wirkt sich auf jede Entscheidung im Unternehmen aus. Der Wert eines sauber formulierten und umsichtig implementierten Unternehmensleitbildes ist inzwischen unumstritten. Insbesondere gilt dies in Situationen der Krise, der Veränderung und des Wachstums eines Unternehmens. Aber auch in einer relativen stabilen Umwelt ist das Leitbild ein entscheidender Orientierungs- und Identifikationspunkt, der zu einem wichtigen komparativen Wettbewerbsvorteil führen kann. Diese Arbeit analysiert die aktuelle angloamerikanische Literatur, bezieht jedoch wichtige deutschsprachige Autoren mit ein. Basierend auf der Literaturaufarbeitung wird ein sehr praktisch angelegtes Modell zur Formulierung, Generierung und Implementierung des Unternehmensleitbildes entwickelt. Dieses Prozeßmodell ist umfassend angelegt und gleichzeitig einfach auf jeden Unternehmenstyp übertragbar. Diese praxisnahe Arbeit wurde im Juli 1994 als Abschlußarbeit des MBA-Studiums des Autors an der Azusa Pacific University / Los Angeles mit A+ bewertet (A+ ist die best-mögliche Note im amerikanischen Benotungssystem). Im Dezember 1994 wurde sie vom Lehrstuhl für Marketing an der Westfälischen-Wilhelms-Universität von Herrn Prof. Meffert anerkannt und nach deutschen Kriterien als Diplomarbeit mit der Note 2,7 bewertet.

Download or read book Churchill s Horses and the Myths of American Corporations written by Mord Bogie and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 1998-02-12 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The large public corporations powering the U.S. economy—Churchill's Horses, in Bogie's metaphor—are underachievers, and all of us are paying the price. Why? The reasons are shrouded in the myths that these corporations use to mask their great power and disguise the interests it serves. Myth: the shareholders who own a public corporation control it by electing the directors who govern it. Anti-Myth (fact): shareholders of a public corporation don't elect the directors, and the directors don't govern the corporation. Shareholders don't even own the corporation in any meaningful sense of the word. Yet Churchill's Horses spend billions propping up the current price of their shares rather than invest the money in their (and our) future prosperity. Using many voices from current and recent business literature, Bogie leads you through myths and anti-myths to understand how public corporations have lost focus and ignored their most important stakeholders. Few readers will emerge with all their assumptions and beliefs intact.
